Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides by two. distribute on the left side. minus 9x on both sides. add 4 on both sides, and you get 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, use the distributive property to distribute the 4 and the 2 respectively.

$4(5x-2) = 2(9x+3)$

$20x-8=18x+6$

Then, isolate the variable. Start by subtracting 18x from both sides.

$2x - 8 = 6$

Add 8 to both sides.

$2x = 14$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x=7$
